Pros:
1. The advertising is 100% true - this lunchbox keeps food warm for a long time

Cons:
1. Tiny containers - I can't imagine anyone with a normal appetite feeling satisfied after eating the minuscule amount of food this product holds.
2. Hand wash only - This especially drives me nuts when I eat messy foods that are hard to clean (esp. oatmeal!)
3. Retains smell - This is my number one complaint. If you put strong smelling food into any of the containers, they will smell for a long time thereafter! It is VERY HARD to get rid of the odor, even if you follow the instructions!

Do I recommend it? If you eat like a bird and don't mind nightly dish-washing, then sure. Otherwise, settle for the sandwich box.

I bought this for my girlfriend in honor of her first day of grad school. She has used it for the last three months and absolutely loves it. It's compact and is very creatively organized. Her only complaint is the top riming is coming apart a little bit, but it is still perfectly functional and still snaps back in. We still highly recommend this piece of fine school-ware!

This product is good as to what it says. However, I feel the bowls are a little small. If it can be bigger, it will be great.

I bought this item about a year ago to help me keep me on a healthy eating lifestyle. The amount of food this holds is perfect for an 8 hour day at the office. The bottom two containers do keep things warm for several hours, but the items that you put in should be hot, right out of the microwave, stove, etc. You can figure the cold stuff staying cool and the hot stuff staying warm for 3 to 4 hours. The top two are best suited for items that won't go bad quickly, i.e, crackers, cheese, dry cereal. Putting frozen fruit works well too, it is cool but thawed in time for lunch. Cleaning with hot soapy water gets out any odors and stains from messy foods. Definitely has to be kept in an upright position, otherwise liquids will leak. I am very very satisfied with this product and have not been able to find anything as practical and versatile. It is a great help for people looking for portion control and a to make sure they eat several small meals a day. Absolutely worth the investment.

I needed something to keep my lunch contain and this works great. I haven't used the soup bowl yet. I find that you can put extra things in the space when you do not use the soup bowl. The large bowl goes straight the bottom and the medium stays at the top so in between those two I was able to put crackers or grapes in that space.
